Progresso Panko & Broth Prize Pack Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. I love finding new ingredients that can take a simple dish or recipe to the next level without a lot of extra cost or extra work. Progresso has introduced panko bread crumbs. Panko (the Japanese word for bread crumb) is a flaky bread crumb which adds a light crispiness to your food and is available in two flavors, plain and Italian. The light texture comes from the fact that panko is made from only the middle of the bread, not the crusts.

And who doesn't love cooking with broth. They are great for adding flavor without adding fat. Progresso broths are 100% natural and use high quality ingredients to achieve a great homemade taste. They are fat free, gluten free, contain no preservatives, no added MSG and no artificial flavors. Progresso broth is available in chicken and reduced sodium chicken and beef flavors.

Chef Michael Chiarello has teamed up with Progresso and offers these tips for cooking with panko and broth.

Panko Tips:
* Breading 1-2-3: Panko adds the perfect light crunch to fish fillets, chicken breasts and pork chops. Dip in flour, then beaten egg and coat both sides in Panko before frying or baking
* Faux Fried: Instead of frying, bake Panko-coated chicken in a 400F oven for 20 minutes to get the same crispy crunch without the fat

Broth Tips:
* Give New Life to Leftovers: Time in the fridge can steal moisture and flavor; drizzle a little broth over last night´s pasta or casserole before reheating
* Better than H20: Water adds moisture, not flavor; replace water with broth when you cook potatoes, rice and grains

Thanks to MyBlogSpark, I have one Progresso Prize Pack which includes a box of panko bread crumbs, a carton of reduced-sodium chicken broth, a measuring cup, slotted spoon, soup ladle, a sheet pan for baking and a Progresso Soups & More Magazine. Anytime I can get free grocery items, I am excited but this recipe book has some great stuff in it. We have already tried Chicken Taco Stew, Butternut Squash Gratin and Beef & Veggie Stew and there are many more that make my mouth water. Progresso often has coupons available for their broth, soup and other products so be sure to check my coupons post to see what's out there.
